Prod expired with rationale of non-notable sporting event. As an international competition (even in Europe where international means less than in the U.S.), it might actually receive press. So I'm elevating to AFD to see if anyone can find sources. GRBerry 04:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: consider my nomination a technical nomination. GRBerry 18:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  AFD is not a vote. Reasons for opinions are the most important part of discussion here. Would you care to expand upon yours? GRBerry 19:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete As always, originator of an article is required to provide reliable sources (independent media or scholarly works) showing notability. Hasn't been done here. No prejudice to recreating article if sources are shown. --Shirahadasha 04:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - there are simply no reliable sources for this. -- Whpq 21:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - convinced by updates that more reliabble sources can be found. -- Whpq 15:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep A Google search for "Youth Friendship Games" brings 9,660 hits the first bunch all seem directly related to the content. I did some rough clean up, and it needs more, but I think Youth Friendship Games is a fine starter article. Jeepday 04:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Heartwarming as the subject may be, I think the notability is a stretch. /Blaxthos 23:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, provided better use is made of the sources to make the notability (which it seems to me is there) clearer. HeartofaDog 23:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
